Cancelled Games XCOM TBG - Digital Edition - CANCELED!

Also, according to my calculations, we've hit $9 in credit so far, meaning Darth has $5 to put into the mission/base defence. I do think we should at least put one more guy in as base defence though, 1 just feels like too little.

 

[DarthWolf]

@Lone_Garurumon we should try to move all ufo's to one continent, the lowest one, and send 3 interceptors there. How does that sound?
How are your odds with both strategies?

 

[DarthWolf]

Sending a Assault and a Support to Mission 2.
This way we got everything covered.

How the hell do you do that? It's not like we have control over the things... Do we?
If we sent 3 against 3 it'd come out as an 80% success chance.

 

[DarthWolf]

CO-Tech: Satellite Nexus : Timed Phase : Place 1 Satelite; Move 1 UFO on the board to another space on the board.

Cheff can do that, but I want to ask you what think is better, since you control the ships.

 

[DarthWolf]

If the amount of ufo's is 3, move them to 1 continent, send 4 ships, guaranteed success.

 

[Lone_Garurumon]

Hmm, personally I think keeping them where they are would work best, since I feel more comfortable with multiple less critical missions than I do with a single huge one if the odds are the same for both. Since I can only send a max of 3 interceptors to each continent.

 

[CheffOfGames]

Use 1+ Satellite to figure out the alien's invasion plan. Roll x amount of 100 sided dice. Where x is the amount of Satellites assigned to this task. Each Satellite has a 40% chance of uncovering the plan.

I will send 2 Satellites to this one, just to figure out what the heck they are doing here.

Increase panic in Asia by 1.

And I will choose this Crisis.

Phase has ended, update will be near twilight.

Work called. ^^;

Would you like to buy a soldier or interceptor?

It is now resolution phase. There is no timer on this phase. If you don't react for a while I might sub you out though.

 

[SoaringDylan]

Forgot to mention you bunch, @Elementar @DarthWolf @CheffOfGames @Lone_Garurumon

 

[Lone_Garurumon]

What do you guys think? Soldier or interceptor?

 

[DarthWolf]

What do you guys think? Soldier or interceptor?

Let's go interceptor first. I have to pick which soldier type I want and I would like to await results from my tasks. If I could get 2 then I would get 2 that complement each other.
Just get an interceptor imo.

 

[Lone_Garurumon]

Alright, I was thinking interceptor anyway.
I'll take an Interceptor thanks Dylan.

 

[SoaringDylan]

Interceptor bought.

It is now the Chief Scientist's turn. Commander @Lone_Garurumon has a special ability available. Would you like to use it?

 

[Lone_Garurumon]

I mean, I don't see why not. It doesn't cost anything, it'll be restored next phase, and I don't think there's a drawback to a soldier being Elite. @DarthWolf, you're squad Leader, what kind of soldier do you want as an Elite?

 

[DarthWolf]

@Lone_Garurumon He is talking about your power in the resolution phase

HQ-Bonus: Europe - Extra Knowledge : Resolution Phase : Exhaust this; Use on 1 unresearched task during the resolution phase, this task has their fail chance multiplied by 0.9 this turn. Can only be used if Europe's panic level is low.

You forgot your timed phase actions.

Had to say this from @SoaringDylan btw.

 

[Lone_Garurumon]

Oh, right... Damn... Ah well, this phase gets reset anyway soooo...
Sure, let's use it on Satellite Tracking. I feel like that's an important one.

 

[Elementar]

What exactly do I do now?

 

[Lone_Garurumon]

What exactly do I do now?

The Chief Scientist's turn is mostly automatic, if they don't have any special action to do (which can be unlocked by research) their turn will automatically end and the output will be determent.
Researching Techs:
To research a tech, an amount of work needs to be put into said research. The amount required depends on each research. Based on the priority and research strategy chosen in the Timed Phase a dice will be rolled to see if there has successfully been put in any work on the lead. If there has been successful progression on the lead, the research team will continue onto the next lead. However, if one of the attempts fails all research for this turn ends. That is not all, a failed research attempt on a lead renders the lead useless, meaning you can't further research this lead. The lead will be discarded and you'll get a new one next Timed Phase. It is possible to see a lead return in any of the following Timed Phases.

It looks like you're allowed to do one of these powers, and then you'll run through the results of your research.

CS-Tech: Laboratory : Resolution Phase : Discard 1 salvage; multiply a tech's fail chance by 0.9 this turn.
CS-Tech: Workshop : Resolution Phase : Place x* Scientists: Use a card with the "exhaust this" modifier from your research leads in hand, then discard it. (can be used on timed phase exhaust this cards. *x stands for amount of work the card requires to be researched)

So it looks like you can actually use one of these techs at the cost of some scientists, but then you'll lose the lead.

Satellite Targeting - 3 work - Central Officer - Resolution Phase : Place Satellite; when you roll a negative ending (ex: failing a research) you may reroll the dice. You can, however only prevent the bad thing from happening, not the good result from occuring.
Elerium - 2 work - Commander - Timed Phase : Exhaust this; place 2$ credits on Emergency Funding
Carapace Armor - 2 work - Squad Leader - Resolution Phase : Exhaust this; you save one of your soldiers from an enemies killing blow.
UFO Tracking - 3 work - Central Officer - Resolution Phase : Place Satelite; multiply the failure chance by 0.9 for the current dice roll. Limited twice per round.
Interceptor Repair - 2 work - Chief Scientist - Timed Phase : Place Scientist; build 1 interceptor. Limited twice per round.
Run & Gun - 1 work - Squad Leader - Resolution Phase : Place assault; multiply the failure chance by 0.9 for the current mission/base defense enemy accuracy roll.
